It`s chic to be frugal in the `90s.
And a new book can supply you with smart ways to nip spending.
Among the tips included in ”1,001 Ways To Cut Your Expenses,” by Jonathan D. Pond, a financial analyst (Dell, $8):
– When grocery shopping, consider choosing products on top and bottom shelves. High-ticket items are at eye level.
– Buy medium-weight clothes you can wear all year-round.
– Form an office ”coffee club” and pool your money to make your own java at work.
– Keep your car windows closed. Even though the opposite used to be true, cars now are designed to perform most efficiently with the windows closed-even with the air conditioner on.
– Prepare a snack box for your next air travel excursion. It`ll probably be far better than anything you`re served, and you`ll be less tempted to eat over-priced airport food when you land.
